Bayer Leverkusen has had an exceptional season. If, however, it is not yet over, since there is the German Cup final to go for, the adventure in Europe came to a cruel halt last night during the final. The Germans lost 3-0 to Bergamo. This defeat puts an end to a historic series that Xabi Alonso’s men were in the process of achieving, 51 games without defeat… After the meeting, the Spanish technician who will still be on the Bayer bench next season made his self-criticism.

Xabi Alonso’s self-criticism

He certainly wanted to achieve the treble (championship, Europa League and German Cup). Unfortunately, Xabi Alonso will only be able to settle for a double with the German Cup after eradicating Bayer’s Neverkusen nickname forever in the league. Here’s what he said after last night’s lost final: “ Atalanta were better than us, you can’t say otherwise. We couldn’t play the way we wanted. We were ready for duels on the field, but we couldn’t win. It wasn’t our day, it’s a shame it happened in the final. I do nothing but accept it. It was the first defeat, something new for us, but life goes on. Before adding, “we will analyze after the match, maybe there were mistakes, mine too. We lost a lot of duels, in the same way we concentrated too much in the strict phases, but that’s our way of playing: we tried to impose ourselves “.
